As we round the corner on this week the finish line is starting to come into sight! Ending the week on Day 68 from seed and these girls are really starting to shine! Front left is just a crystal packed beast with golf ball sized buds (or bigger) well spaced out along the stem, more like blueberry tends to grow. Front right is showing very similar traits, while back left and right are larger more connected buds, more like Slimer tends to grow. Cool to see the two different bud structures in the same grow, fun thing with autos you know they will be close but always some differences! Buds are just plumping and firming, getting ready for their big day on another few weeks. Water intake has slowed as expected for this stage in life, 32L every four days instead of every three. Was an easy week work wise, just a light defoliation of mainly the back two plants, probably 20 or so leaves each. Back two are still seeming to be maybe a week behind front two, but they seem to be catching up fast. May have to get the second reservoir set up at the end of need to ween first two off the feed earlier than last two. Good thing is I have three full sets of AutoPots so not a problem, although I may have a problem with collecting grow gear hahaha. Can't help myself, I see stuff selling for super cheap used or clearance from stores closing and think "sure I could use another set of those". Got my last set of 15L pots in upgrade packs on clearance. Each pack came with the pot, the tray, and the 5.0 valve with all the fixings for just !!! Honestly how do you say no to that I don't know. Lights 90% @ 16" @ 750-800umol/s Water 32L every four days UV lights one hour per day mid cycle 6" Exhaust 30% 4" Intake 50% 6" oscillating fan x2 50%

Hey growers another week gone for my critical purple and pineapple auto grow! So as you may have noticed I finally got to hit the flower side of the diary even though my critical purple #2 has already been in flower 3 weeks! But all four of my ladies have now entered into 🌸 so that's why I waited till now to hit flower weeks of diary. So not a lot of changes this week besides all transitioning into flower. I did install an additional light so I'm now running a Viparspectra vs1000 and x2 philizon 600w led for a grand total of 2200w of fun in the sun 🌞. Since I added this extra light on Tuesday the smell has increased tremendously! My favorite part of the day is coming home and opening this tent enough to see my tent settings and to stick my big ass nose in to get a big old wiff of heaven! So enough of my rambling let's get down to business! 10/7/2021- 5ml cal mag 2ml micro .5ml gro 2ml bloom 3/4ml ph down Ph 5.9 Ppm 744 Solution temp 73.2F 10/10/21- Water Ph 6.1 Ppm 180 Solution temp 72.7°F 10/10/21- Pineapple auto #1 tried to remove tape and resnapped branch. 10/12/21- Installed an additional philizon 600w light for flower. 10/13/21- Water Ph 6.5 Ppm 180 Solution temp 73.2°F 10/14/2021- All four plants are 42 days old today!!! Critical purple #1- Guys I do have to say this lady is turning out to be something special! She stayed in veg until she was ready and boom here she goes! Really did some growing and transitioning this week or atleast I think she did! With this being said....(drumroll) This is my 🌟 of the week!!!! 💚💚👏👏👏 Critical purple #2- I do believe this is the culprit to my heavenly welcome to my grow home aroma that she blesses me with every day! She is starting to pack it on hard-core she is filling in lovely. So with adding the new light it gave me the opportunity to move my viparspectra vs1000 over top of her giving her ample light. Wednesday didn't notice any difference. Got up this morning(thurs) after watering Wednesday night and opened the tent and checked her out and it looked like she was covered in frost! She was a beauty! So I'm 🤔 another 3-4 weeks and this girl will be ready or close. Pineapple auto #1- Didn't notice a lot of growth in this lady this week. Thinking she put her focus to transitioning. So I'm about to know if my boy @Papa_T is reading my diaries because he will prob send me a message after reading this!! So... I couldn't do it!! So on Sunday which was day 4 of my branch being taped she felt strong and solid so I tried to remove the tape and just my luck when I taped it somehow I managed to get sticky sides stuck together at start of tape job so it made it twice as hard to remove the tape therefore re-snapping the branch 😪🤮🤬 I was so mad at myself. So I asked Papa_T what I should do and he said cut it off to prevent a risk of fungus so I grabbed my snips opened the tent and noticed that the plant had entered 🌼 that day. Looking at the branch I was about to cut 3 potential bud sights off i couldn't do it! So I taped her back up a little looser this go around and used a wire tie on scrog net to add extra support. I do plan to try to remove the tape Sunday making it a whole week this go around if it Snaps again it's gone! Pineapple auto #2- Not a lot to say here this girl speaks for herself! She has decided she wanted as much space as she could get! I am starting to notice a possible nitrogen deficiency as some of my lower leaves are yellowing and some have even fallen off! But she also has only had one feeding this week and two waterings. I would like to give a huge THANKS to all of u for the likes, comments, and questions answered and to @Papa_T for his patience and great conversations he is a great dude and is getting more knowledgeable everyday be sure to add this guy he could be a helpful asset to your grow and like me stress levels! We'll guys/gals till next week wackytabacky420 out!! Best of luck and Happy Growing!😎🌱💚💪💪

Days 42 through 49 of flower and all three Phenos are expressing themselves differently. Pheno #1 continues to express darkened fan leaves almost purple and much more frosty than her sisters. Pheno #2 is the other end of the spectrum remaining green, but less frost. Pheno #3 seems to be a mix of the other two and its fan leaves are turning colors of autumn. Those are my visual observations as we head into week 8 of flower with harvest just around the corner. No nutrients or grow techniques used during week 7 flower. Other than a watering to saturation on day 42, I really haven't done anything other than observing and maintaining health of plant. For me, that involves tracking VPD to ensure optimal plant performance. Able to track VPD with recent upgrade to the AC Infinity Cloudline Pro fan system. The integrated environmental controls managed on my smart phone has been a game changer. So, happy that I made the upgrade. Thanks again for stopping by and checking out the diary.

This was a wild ride. Gave way to many nutrients and I realised this way too late, when lock-ups already started to happen. The buds still look very potent, I just think they had way more in em size/potency wise if the nutrients would've been on point. Not growing auto flowers indoor anymore, but I'll deffo be growing this one outdoors this year! The smell is out of this world, #1 smells like tropical fruit juice, #2 more of a candy-sweetness but definitely tropical. Can't wait for ya'll to grow this one!

Week of admiring this girl is drinking water every 2 days without problems something big to take I need a lot more of that in my garden her resistance and incredible leaving in its natural form you only feed and observe because it makes great sprouts with incredible sugar, aroma sweet, previous weeks in veg the defoliation of everything that was underneath made something bigger in equal proportions, it really doesn’t need big lights to show its potential I believe that improving in each specific strain you know each one, being able to understand more and improve. Thanks for another week everyone, the trichomes are taking their best potential, I hope at any time to return with the harvest 😁

After the move into the larger pots, I noticed the girls starting to lean in, and lift thier leaves. I adjusted the height of the lamp to 23" and thier leaves backed off from over reaching. Thinking of topping this weekend, as the ladies look to have enough nodes now. All in all, things have been going very well. *** topped 4/5 on sunday

I am giving them nutes twice and then once water. Temperature was going up to 34c and more with tent door closed which I thought is a bit high so I had to run a pipe with exhaust fan in between from window to tent. Temp stays at 30-31 with tent door closed now. Also using a humidifier with a pipe attached to keep it outside the tent and air humidity stays at around 40-50%.

wow:) the girl started to grow properly!!! since there are two girls in my growing box, I noticed that this girl is the biggest, so that there would be no problems in the future due to the distance between the two girls, I cut the main ring for this girl so that the girl would not grow upwards so quickly, and would have many strong branches:) This did not cause stress for the girl:) everything looks good !!!!.

Commencing Week 12 - 4th week of flowering - Day 78 from germination - Day 28 of 12/12 on January 9th Garden is going great! Only minor hold up is my pH and PPM meter has gone haywire today so I have one arriving in the mail tomorrow. I used one of my flower bomb males and crossed the 818 number one and the Branch with a wire tie. Seeds coming soon :-) "You can have change without progress but not progress without change" I am trying a new nutrients called Mega crop. Currently I utilitize a very sterile and all chemical nutrients solution that contains no enzymes no amino acids and no beneficial bacteria and I have gotten great results, and I enjoy not having to do much work, literally no swap outs in this grow so far has saved my water bills and my back. However as I stated there is no progress with change and in line with wanting to get better I am trying a new nutrient called Mega crop which contains many of the things that I have thus far stayed away from. Starting off very lightly and will see what happens either way I am anxious and excited for the next 4 weeks 🤩🤩🤩

Flowering is on for sure now with the stretching and hairiness arriving within the 1st few days of flipping. They have all been whacking the growth on and showing all of their potential budsites like stafish. FFT#1 is over the 60L pots edge now and has been tied into place for the vertical bud stacking. She feels very indica and is happy to stay lower. She is going to be an nice chunky squat girl at her end. FFT#5 has had a great week with her girth over-reaching the edges by a good way and also going way more vertical. I have been supercropping where needed with these big ladies and their recovery has been rapid. She has remained put after her sessions of bending to form a very nice 2ft×2ft canopy of heads. FFT#7 Has not stopped growing out in all directions since the flip. she is at the back sonhas a good amount of space to stretch out and hit a great yield i think. Her sativa genetics are really obvious with her vertical stretch already and I cannot wait to see the bud sets she makes. Theyballnhave a good amount of mode stacking readybforbthebbuds to join together and I am hoping they keep this tightness throughout the flowering period. I have a little tip burn on them but nothing too worrying. plain water for their next 2 weeks I think then another amendment run. These testers are knocking it out of the park so far with some amazing growth spurts and rapid recovery times. If the flowering is as good as the vegging ability , we have my new staple seed supplier !!!!. These are winners already for me , roll on harvest.
